A full Saturday!

Not like the first week of school was enough for us last week, we had to take a one day trip to Minneapolis!  It was a fabulous day, we were so glad we went and a special thanks to the PRESTENG'S, RENN'S and GRANDPA GREG, who all had a part in making the day for us!!

We started out about 9am and headed straight for the Mall of America, (a fav of our kids after being there this summer and now this time too, however, not a fav for their parents...)  We grabbed some lunch and bought our tickets for the light-rail.  This was the kids' first experience with a "train" and they had a blast!  Here they are looking out the window at Fort Snelling.

Go Twins!!  The kids 1st game.

I should note that because of the Bee sting I had given Hans a dose of Benadryl right away in the morning so by the time we left for the game I was able to give him another dose, his finger was still pretty hard and swollen.  Thus, he was out within 5 mins. of sitting down.  It ended up to be the best thing for him though.  "Circle Me Bert, I'm really enjoying my 1st Twins game!"

We just happened to be sitting by another 6 yr. old girl!  Damaris and Kylie had a lot of fun, NOT watching the game!

Hans did wake up and did like the game, if he hadn't taken the nap, I'm not sure what he would have thought of it...

Thanks to the Presteng's for their extra tickets.  Mark, Jeremy, Ben and Nick won the AFLBS golf scramble and part of their prize was the free tickets.  Mark and Mia couldn't use theirs so they sent them to us.  We wouldn't have ever thought of bringing the kids to the game, but it worked out nice.  Thanks!
